Knauf stands for opportunity. We know that opportunity looks different to each person and we are proud that we see opportunity in everyone. This exciting role within Knauf Insulation could be the perfect next opportunity for you to build a unique career, in a values-led culture with a clear purpose of making tomorrow a home for all of us.

Knauf Insulation is proud to be part of the Knauf Group, a global manufacturer of construction materials. Our division is approaching 50 years of heritage in manufacturing insulation, with a growing global reach in 40 countries and ambitious goals for the future. We are looking for passionate, ambitious people to join our 6,000-strong team and help us achieve these goals. We are all led by the same core values and believe in the powerful potential of large companies to have a positive impact on the world.

We are now strengthening our Engineering organization with a 3D Civil Design Engineer to support our industrial projects, ensure structural integrity, and coordinate civil / structural deliverables between our engineering and technology teams.

Are you excited by the idea of taking responsibility for structural designs within an international industrial organization?

Do you love solving engineering challenges, reviewing structural calculations, and collaborating with both engineering and technology teams to deliver robust, buildable civil designs?

Do you see yourself coordinating with subcontractors, making sure design standards are respected, and contributing to safe, reliable and sustainable industrial facilities?

Are you ready to grow in a purpose‑driven, innovation‑led company improving how people build and live?

The 3D Civil Design Engineer role is a hands‑on engineering position within our industrial projects — ensuring structural designs are compliant, reviewing calculations, and producing basic 3D layouts. This position provides structured responsibilities, cross‑functional collaboration and the opportunity to contribute directly to the performance and safety of our industrial assets.

Each day brings new challenges and learning: one day, you might be reviewing structural calculations submitted by subcontractors; the next, you are drafting layout designs or coordinating interfaces between the civil engineers and the technology leaders.

More specifically, you will:

• Review and verify soil investigation reports, structural calculations, technical documentation and design deliverables from subcontractors or external design offices
• Ensure structural designs (foundations, reinforced concrete and/or steel structures, load‑bearing elements) comply with standards, codes and internal guidelines
• Produce basic 3D layouts, drafts, general arrangements and conceptual plans to support engineering and technology scope
• Coordinate structural interfaces with process, utilities, equipment foundations and industrial layouts and clash detection activities
• Participate in technical design reviews and interface meetings
• Identify potential structural risks and propose corrective or optimization measures
• Manage design revision history, structural documentation and calculation files
• Provide technical guidance to subcontractors and partners
• Support the specification, civil tender packages, selection and technical assessment of structural materials or construction methods when required

• Degree in Civil Engineering (or equivalent), with strong competencies in structural design
• Professional experience in a similar position OR in a structural/civil design company
• Ability to interpret geotechnical reports/soil classes, ground improvement techniques
• Ability to read, interpret and challenge structural calculations (concrete, steel, load distribution, stability, foundations)
• Fundamental understanding of mechanical and electrical works, and interfaces
• Good understanding of fire safety design principles
• Good understanding of sustainable design principles
• Hands‑on capability to produce basic drafts, layout arrangements and 3D models
• Familiarity with CAD / BIM / 3D tools (e.g. AutoCAD, Navisorks, Civil 3D, Revit or similar)
• Strong technical,…
